HARNESS-Loop.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent vNo. 244,865, dated July 26, 1881.

' Application led June 11,1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, A. J. DENNIS, a citizen of the United States, residentof Nicholasville, in the county of J essamine and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and valuable Inl-- provement in Harness-Loops and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specica'tion, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon. f f

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section.

This invention has relation to loops for harness and it consists'in the construction and novel arrangementof the upper and lower slots iu theloop, and the tongue attached to said loop, and` adapted to pass through the upper slot into said loop and out of the saine through the lower slot, all as hereinafter shown and de scribed.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates a saddle-strap of webbin g or leather, and B the harness loop, which is made of doubled leather and riveted to the back-band in the ordinary manner. This loop is provided with`an 'upper or entrance slot, c, at or near the upper part of the loop portion d, through which the draft-chain e passes. Through the bottom of the loop is made another slot, c', as shown in the drawings.

F indicates a tongue, of leather or other suitable material, which is rivetedby its upper end to the loop or saddle-strap, and is of sucient length to pass through the slots and to project from` the lower one.

The draft-chain e is designed to be passed through the loop in the usual manner, and is held in place therein by passing the tongue F through the upper slot, through a link of the chain within the loop, and out through the lower slot, thereby holding the chain perfectly in place, and thus preventing the same from rubbing and chafing the side of the horse.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, Is-

The harness-loop for attachlnent to a saddlestrap, as herein described, having the upper slot, c, the lower slot, c', and the tongue F, riveted to said loop or to the back-band, and adapted to pass th rough the upper slot, through a link of the chain Within said loop, and out through the lower slot, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

ANDREW J AOKSON DENNIS.
